More about this scene

Standing at a crossroads on the ridge between Exmoor and the Brendon Hills, the long haul up the turnpike from Bampton or Minehead gave both the hill and this inn its well-earned name. This early 19th-century inn is used by farmers attending the adjacent Cutcombe Market.

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

Robert Pope listed as a Thatcher and Publican of Cutcombe mid 1800's. Have been told that there was no Inn at Cutcombe, the nearest was at Wheddon Cross, called the Heath Poult Inn, can anyone confirm this?
I have been studying my genealogy & my GGG grandfather built this Inn. I would love to find Crockfords from this area to email with Terri
